excellent. thank you greg! i wish i had your expertise in this stuff.
another question, but more general:
suppose we have a certain requirement for our document. for instance:
* the linux kernel module programming guide would really suffer without
an index at the end.
* footnotes all get glooped at the end of the document, which becomes
unruly when you need to flip 100 pages for a 1 line footnote. the
lkmpg would be better served by "end of chapter" notes, rather than
"end of document" notes.
these things (and the minor change you give below) require changing
ldp.dsl.
however, it doesn't really matter what the copy looks like on my hard
drive. i already know where "init_module" is mentioned in the lkmpg;
it would be more useful for the people using ldp documents.
is there a way for ldp to use slightly customized versions of ldp.dssl?
i'm not talking about going ape-wild on changing the format of the
document; uniformity of documents looks professional, imho. Just little
things like including an index, endnotes and ixnaying the graphics.
i'd be willing to learn how to hack a dsl file for the cause.
thanks! :)
